20 Section 2A: Your Phone – The Basics
Turning Your Phone On and Off
Turning Your Phone On
To turn your phone on:
Press .
Once your phone is on, it may display “Looking for service...,”
which indicates that your phone is searching for a signal.
When your phone finds a signal, it automatically enters
standby mode – the phone’s idle state. At this point, you are
ready to begin making and receiving calls.
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of
searching, a Power Save feature is automatically activated.
When a signal is found, your phone automatically returns to
standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a
search for Sprint PCS Service by pressing any key (when your
phone is turned on).
Tip:The Power Save feature helps to conserve your battery power when you
are in an area where there is no signal.
Turning Your Phone Off
To turn your phone off:
Press and hold for two seconds until you see the
powering down animation on the display screen.
Your screen remains blank while your phone is off (unless the
battery is charging).
